remember when the Lakers got Howard and Nash to add to Kobe and Gasol, then got rid of their best low post presence? GENIUS!
Well it is two games. I'd be confident that the Lakers will finish with a good record.

Jazz played some good ball last night. This season has the potential to be a good, and fun one.

Howard is twice the low post presence that Bynum will ever be, but acquiring Nash seemed like a bonehead move when an aging backcourt has been their undoing that last 2 seasons.

they are a bit old ... but remember the heat didn't come out of the gates on fire ... basketball is a team game and not only do they have to adjust to playing with each other ... they are learning a whole new offense from before ... so, it's double the trouble ...
i do think they need to mix it up a bit more and allow nash to run pick/roll with basically anyone on the floor except artest ...

I know I just like picking on the Lakers who thought they were automatically going to the finals for this. Of course they will win a bunch of games this year they are too good not to.
Lakers are 0-2
And I wouldnt be surprised if the win 22 of their next 25
I'll bet it won't be like that until February...they are put together much like the Heat were a few years ago and need court time. Weren't the Heat like 9-8 at first then won for like 2 straight months? Plus the Heat have Coach Spo, who just about everyone in this forum would "run through a wall for," whereas the Lakers have Mike Brown who couldn't even win with LeBron and he's gotta try to do it with Dwight Howard and the Relics.
I am still waiting for Noah or Deng to have that "1 game"
noah had like 23 and 10 with 3 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks on opening night ... that isn't bad at all ...
but harden is awesome ... you don't play for team usa in the olympics unless you have game ... having said that - houston has bet the farm for him so, he's got a lot to live up to ...

Now is the time for both Noah and Deng to shine, right? Rose is out, and we may not see him all year.
Im willing to bet 5 Butterfingers candy bars, that neither Noah or Deng, scores 37pts while Rose is out.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

noah is not going to score 37 pts - that's not his role on that team ... the dude is a really good basketball player ... made even more so if he can continue to hit 11 of 12 from the FT line ... he's there to rebound, play D and facilitate on the offensive end ... i wouldn't be surprised if he averages 4-5 assists this year as long as guys make shots ...
also bulls are a defense first team under thibs ... it's possible that deng can flirt with 30 pts every now and then but that's not what they need for the team to win ... and winning is all that matters ...
noah can easily average 15 points, no doubt about it in my mind. he doesn't get enough credit for his offense
Boozer can't do shit w/o someone to feed him for layups -- he actually should be giving 25% of his salary to Deron Williams.
he's a pretty decent shooter, just needs to take it to the rim more often vs. settling for the jumper. it would also be nice if he didn't develop a case of salmonitis....you know, the inability to jump more than 6inchs off the floor.

It was ridiculous to see internet comments after the Dwight deal with so many people declaring that they'd win it all. Don't forget 2004.
If the Lakers don't have enough star power to pretty much guarantee on paper that they will win the title, they'll sure as hell do whatever they can to stock up on star talent to assure they get as close to winning as possible. Of course, that is the goal of every team, but fortunately for the Lakers they have deep pockets.
Under the new CBA, they're going to have a more difficult time hoarding big names and big contracts. :corn:

All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
next tuesday?

He is a 6th player.
He was the 3rd best player on his team last year.
He is a role player.
Blah blah blah...
Game 1
37 pts
12 assists
6 rebounds
4 steals
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
